Not really. I'm assuming everyone stays healthy, that includes Bynum. The last time Bynum and and Duncan met, Bynum neutralized him. It'd be a close series. Neither team would win in 4 or 5.
Because Manu has been injured a lot in the last few years, he's about to turn 32 which is an age where many NBA players start to have a more noticeable decline in their level of play, and mostly (especially Laker fans) to irritate Spurs fans.
Judging by this thread, the latter reason is working.
Why do fans make fun of T-Mac being done? Or Oden being done? Or Bynum being an overrated POS? To irritate fans of the teams those players play for. And, because they can.
That's one opinion. We'll have to wait and see. As I said, it's unpredictable. I watched the Spurs play extremely mediocre basketball for the first 50 games of the 2006-2007 season and thought they were no longer a threat. Duncan's never had the offensive supporting cast he has this year. Last year having to carry that team early on in the season clearly hurt him later on in the season.
I didn't check it but I clearly remember that we lead game 1 and 5 in LA by something close to 20 points and we won game 3 easily so there you have at least 3 of 5 games. And game 4 was the one with Fish's foul on Barry.
Game 4 the Lakers did lead wire to wire, even though the Spurs made a run at the end, but the Spurs did have big leads in games 1, 3 and 5.
4-5 year run, give me a in break. Gasol/Kobe/Artest/Odom will be dinosaurs in 5 years and the development of Bynum/Brown or whoever the will likely not offset that
2-3 years is more appropriate.
We need to play NCAA 2010 again.
I really think that Odom is going to make or break the Lakers' dominance. I don't think losing Odom and Ariza and gaining Artest is considered improving. But keeping Odom and trading out Ariza for Artest is an improvement.

Bingo! and we fall for it every time.
After while, it's not even worth arguing about 'cause we won't know for sure until he hits the floor. I hope he comes back healthy because he gives his all. I believe he knows he hasn't played his best due to injuries and I can't help but think if he comes back healthy, it will be the Manu of old adding a few years of course.
At least that's somewhat realistic.
its impossible for you to believe what you post.
...you're a joke.
Luva is correct here, fellows. You've been out in the rain too long. Perhaps if you can score another supreme find like Manu you can return to glory, but, that is about your only chance. We have your ass in the West and Boston would beat you to like smithereens if they ever came across ya's in the Finals.
b/c the Spurs are too old? and the lakers to good? is that why?
John, your talent level is no longer premium enough. It is not on the level that the Lakers are at.
and why is that? who on the lakers, besides kobe, is so talented?
Gasol, Bynum, Odom, Walton.
------
Parker, Manu, RJ, Hill.
Right now, not when you can ascertain the health of anybody, but this instant, what group would you choose, John?
Odom plays for the Lakers?
Walton.
lol
Listing him would make anyone pick the other squad.
I don't like Manu. I think he's an extremely talented S.American .
Can i say that here?
Considering that Parker is a lot better than any of those Laker players, I'd take the latter.
Walton??
And Odom isn't even coming back.

he also completely forgot Ron Artest which I don't get.
Because he's not a real Laker fan.
Tony > Fisher
Manu < Kobe
RJ > Artest
Dice < Pau
Tim > Bynum
And you better sign Odom 'cause if you don't SA bench >>> LA bench.
Edit: I changed 'cause Tim would be guarding Bynum not Pau.
I didn't forget him, but, I needed John to converse with.
If 30 GMs were interviewed, my guess is at least 20 they'd rather have Artest over Jefferson.
